HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I am pleased to announce that my new granddaughter, Mara, came into the world yesterday around 3:00 pm. Mother is doing fine and reports that Mara is beautiful and "pink", which we all know is a wonderful color for a new baby. Mara weighed in at a whopping 8-1/2 pounds! Mama is doing fine but very tired (small wonder, huh?). We will be seeing her sometime this weekend and I will be taking pictures (provided I don't forget the camera, LOL).

Today is also my son, Luke's, birthday and we will also be celebrating my son, Joseph's, birthday (Veteran's Day). I have much to be thankful for.

Congratulations for the new granddaughter! Wish I had one! Boys are all we have! Looks like November is going to be busy for your family for many years, with at least three birthdays and Thanksgiving too, followed by Christmas. What fun! Hope you enjoy all the celebrations! ---"Love"

Happy Birthday to Luke and Joseph and welcome to the world little Mara! Congratulations on the new granddaughter! Boys are wonderful, but little girls are so much fun to sew for. Enjoy your day and your wonderful family!

About Me

I've been married for over 40 years (yes, to the same man) and have 3 wonderful kids (all grown up now) and five delicious grandchildren. My mother taught me to use her sewing machine at 6 years old and in quick succession she taught me embroidery (love it, hate needlepoint); knitting & crocheting (which I also can't stand). I started quilting a few years ago (self-taught - everything I read made it sound difficult). I tend to collect things that interest me - fabric, transfers, plants, books, earrings, decorated candy tins - did I mention fabric? Self-confessed Fabric Hound here. Hope you enjoy your visit!
